Angelina Jolie Snubbed by Oscars...Already? Nope, but Another A-Lister Was
GK Films, Jason Merritt/Getty Images
There are a few ways Angelina Jolie could get a good seat at next month's Oscars: She could serve as a presenter; she could go as presumed Best Actor nominee Brad Pitt's date; and/or, however unlikely, she could contend for Best Picture.
But, Golden Globes glory or no, she absolutely won't get there via the Foreign Language Film category.
And neither will Christian Bale.
China vs. Batman: Government Blasts Christian Bale!
Christian Bale is appearing in his first Chinese-language film, but it appears he doesn't have any fans among the country's communist leaders.
A government spokesman slammed the Oscar winner, saying he should feel embarrassed for visiting a human-rights activist under house arrest in eastern China while he was there doing publicity for his starring role in Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War.
So what got the Chinese in such a tizzy?
Dark Knight Rises Trailer in the Wild—Here's What We Learned...
The Bat is back!
The six-minute prologue for director Christopher Nolan's final installment in the Dark Knight saga has already made its way to theaters. But in case you need even more of Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and all the bat-tastic action on the big screen, a new trailer has made its way online to give us another glimpse into the dark world of Gotham.
So what else did we learn about the latest struggle for our superhero? We're taking a look at the best moments.
Christian Bale Shoved by Guards While Trying to Visit Chinese Activist
Christian Bale insists he's not the brave one in this case—but we're going to have to give him credit for his courage nonetheless.
While in China promoting The Flowers of War, a war drama set in 1930s Nanjing, the Oscar winner attempted to pay a visit to activist and attorney Chen Ghuangcheng, a blind family man who's been under house arrest since his release from prison last year on charges of damaging property and disrupting traffic during a protest.
And the flock of guards who are stationed outside Chen's property didn't take kindly to Bale's arrival, as shown in the footage shot by the CNN crew who made the trip with the actor to the village of Dongshigu in eastern China.
Afternoon Mail! Is Batman the Viciest Big-Screen Superhero?
PhamousFotos / Splash News
Dear Ted:
How Vicey is the cast of The Dark Knight Rises? It seems like there'd be a ton of drama on that set!
—Lyn
Dear Rise Up:
You'd think so, but most of the cast is (maybe shockingly?) Vice-free. Anne Hathaway? Nada! Hunky Tom Hardy? Zilch (surprisingly). Sorry, but Batman isn't delivering the BVs. If you want a superhero flick with tons of juicy Vice worthy scoop, watch that not-so-amazing Superman from a few years back. Of course, we didn't discuss Christian Bale, who's hardly Vice-free, but, hey, he's only one dude, right?
Dear Ted:
I think I'm normally good at figuring out who Vices are but I must admit I'm stumped about Brucey Huskers. You mentioned he had a claim to fame other than music, film, or Broadway. Might he be the athletic type? I've got it! Brucey is Derek Jeter! Gorgeous, definitely a manly body, and just broke up with Minka Kelly. Am I right (or even close)?

In case you hadn't heard (yeah, right), new Spider-Man and Batman movies are coming out!
And while they won't hit theaters for another seven months, that isn't stopping the folks behind the flicks from throwing out a couple little reminders by way of new teaser posters.
But which one will get fanboys and fangirls even more excited than they already are? Well, let's take a look at 'em and see...
Bat's All Folks! Christian Bale Done Playing Batman, Says He's Taking the "Cowl" Off for Good
Warner Bros. Entertainment
Christian Bale has had enough of all things Batman.
The 37-year-old thesp, who played the Caped Crusader in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, said the latter film will be the last time fans see him in bat garb, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt could tell you everything he knows about The Dark Knight Rises given the fact he plays a key role...but then he might have to kill you.
That said, the Inception star did confirm to E! News that filming on Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated trilogy capper is finally at an end—nearly seven months after it began.
Here's what he had to say.
New Dark Knight Rises Footage Surfaces! Batman Occupies Wall Street...and Kicks Butt

No, Batman isn't taking on the 1 percent. But he's not too far off.
Christopher Nolan's hugely anticipated The Dark Knight Rises took the real Gotham City by storm over the weekend, fllming a chaotic battle scene near Wall Street.
And by the look of the footage and photos that have leaked out from the set, it's safe to say our titular hero (Christian Bale) has met his match in the form of pumped-up baddie Bane (Tom Hardy)—with a speedy assist from Catwoman (Anne Hathaway).
